Thomas Pole and Laurence Hart wrote a document about the  AIIM iECM CMIS Demo 2009 (iECM is the abbreviation for AIIM’s Interoperable ECM).

Within this document they explain how the CMIS demo was planned and accomplished. The concept was to create a federated search interface that would allow users to search multiple repositories from a single search screen. Several vendors showed interest in assisting the iECM committee and participated on the initial planning calls. At the End Nuxeo, EMC and Alfresco commited themselves to participate to make their repositories CMIS mostly compliant for this demo. This demo has been presented at the AIIM Expo 2009.

This year it is planned to show two CMIS scenarios.
The Federated Repository and the Application to Repository scenario.

Therefore they need additional support to make it again a success.

If you are interested in participating in the 2010 iECM CMIS demo project, please contact Thomas Pole (pole at harris dot com). If you wish to participate as a vendor, please contact Betsy Fanning (bfanning at aiim dot org). Many skills and resources are needed, including:
